Jacob Zuma earns more annually than almost any other world leader does – report

An honest pay for an honest day... Wait, what?

Jacob Zuma rakes in an ice-cool R2.9m a year from his presidential duties, with only five other world leaders making more than he does.

Here are some numbers for you: In possession of 784 criminal charges laid against him, as well as being the veteran of seven no-confidence votes and two recessions, he is the 6th highest paid leader in the world. That’s fair, isn’t it?

His wage could have been even higher but for a freeze on his yearly 5% rise.
